kapu s prabhakara This episode disappointed me. it was a drag. it went on too long.
sdsande I just saw the first four episodes of season 1 and I will not be watching this show to its entirety. Here's why. This show just doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Especially ''the affair '' itself. Why does it even happen? What reason did they both have to cheat on their spouses? Was it worth jeopardising their marriages, families and lives for?! Let me explain. The focus of the series is on two somewhat annoying,self-centered characters,Noah and Alison. Both of them have caring, understanding spouses without any major character flaws. Not abusive or annoying or withholding. Yet these two choose to have an affair with each other for absolutely no reason apart from lust and possibly boredom. Noah jeopardises his entire life just because he feels ''emasculated '' by his over bearing, bully of a father in law and rich, independent wife. Alison who has a husband who is gorgeous, loving and patient despite her being a depressed, dull, unappreciative bore with a bunch of emotional issues still chooses to cheat. The most ridiculous part is the way Noah's point of view constantly shows Alison in skimpy dresses, with a perpetual flirtatious smirk and constantly coming onto him. Alison's point of view is completely different! She's depressed and almost too unbearably boring to be around, leave alone for a bored, emasculated man to find interesting. Who's version are we supposed to believe? The show has multiple sex scenes which I suppose is to be expected from a series entitled ''the affair '' but which are somewhat unnecessary. You find yourself getting irritated at Noah for being so egotistic and at Alison for constantly sporting a mournful expression . You find yourself sympathising with Cole for having to deal with a perpetually sad, pouty Alison while Helen hardly gets any screen time. There was no reason for this affair to happen. Both on the show and the show itself. Come up with something more original and plausible. It's about time Hollywood stopped making shows with attractive characters and a unnecessary sex scenes aplenty and no substance whatsoever expecting their audience to swallow up this drivel.
jenniferodell I feel that this show would greatly benefit from losing the Helen character. I know she's a good actress, but she's just taking up space on a show where things are deliberately slow pace, and could do better elsewhere.The other actors are compelling and the story is fantastic. I love this show.
garywbrown38 Presently watching Series 4 , having seen this series from the start. Great storylines based upon an initial affair with the lead Dominic West and a waitress in US. Storylines unwind as the years progress and the characters inter mingle and argue love and fight. Great "Must Watch" series with first class acting by all the main characters
